Quilting the Lantern Quilt

Because this lantern quilt is for my sister, I asked her if she would rather have more detailed quilting or a minky backing. She chose the more detailed quilting. I had so much fun quilting it and watching it transform, that I decided to take pictures after each step.

Here is the finished quilt top.

The first quilting I did was to echo the columns on each side of the seam. This was all done freehand without any rulers to keep me straight. ;)

Then I quilted continuous spirals through the lanterns and bars.

Then I quilted a loose wiggle over the background columns.

Quilting really does transform the quilt! I will share the finished quilt this Friday.
